A guest for Eat Static at Roskilde Festival 1995 · Thu, 29 Jun 1995
Now it was over 30 years ago but my recollection was amazing, it was in a round tent and the boys were plying a UfO style set. The lights made you feel like you were onboard a spaceship. It was undoubtedly in my top 10 of EDM gigs. Bear in mind I was born in 1970. They rocked!
A guest for Sonic Youth at Roskilde Festival 1993 · Thu, 01 Jul 1993
I had seen them in November 92 with a lot more let's say beginner-friendly/crowd-pleasing set so the thing I recall from this is that it was very different. Quite low-energy comparatively and more introspective. Several new songs etc. But in hindsight a lot of this has grown on me; the point I'm trying to make is that it was a fairly contrarian festival gig where they did not play the "hits".
A guest for The Blue Aeroplanes at Roskilde Festival 1990 · Thu, 28 Jun 1990
I was the back line tech for the Aeroplanes at this show. We flew in from the USA from our support tour of the Church. Barry Everette was the FOH mix engineer and Chris Brown was Tour manger. The show lasted only 40 minutes, but the event changed my life forever. My wife of 8 months flew in for the show and returned home to Somerset carrying our daughter Willow, who is now a Rock and Roll, touring production manager. The Circle of life!
A guest for Diamanda Galas at Roskilde Festival 1987 · Fri, 03 Jul 1987

Her voice is one of kind.
